fieldNotes

FieldNotes offers academic researchers a powerful, browser-based qualitative coding platform. Key features include: * Deductive code application across transcripts * Consistent coding at scale * Full researcher control over every coding decision * Exportable, auditable XLSX (codebook, coded excerpts, decision log) * GDPR-compliant and EU-hosted data handling This platform transforms qualitative data analysis by leveraging advanced computational linguistics to apply user-defined codes. Researchers simply define their codebook once, and the system intelligently proposes codes for every transcript excerpt, ensuring high consistency and saving significant time compared to manual methods. Every coding proposal requires researcher approval, offering options to approve, merge, or reject, thereby maintaining scientific rigor and complete control over the analytical process. FieldNotes is ideal for academic researchers, graduate students, and research teams conducting thematic analysis, content analysis, or other qualitative studies. It provides an affordable, intuitive alternative to traditional qualitative data analysis software, streamlining the process from raw transcripts to fully coded data ready for publication. The auditable export ensures transparency and reproducibility for methods sections.
